Resolution Criteria

This market resolves based on final worldwide and US box office totals from Box Office Mojo. Each answer resolves YES if The Super Mario Galaxy Movie's total exceeds The Super Mario Bros. Movie's total in the specified region, and NO otherwise. Resolution uses the highest confirmed lifetime grosses for each film.

The Super Mario Bros. Movie grossed $574.2 million domestically and nearly $784 million internationally, with a total worldwide box-office gross of over $1.35 billion.

Background

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is the sequel to The Super Mario Bros. Movie (2023), scheduled to be theatrically released in the United States on April 1, 2026. The film is set to expand the Nintendo animated universe considerably, adding Yoshi, Bowser Jr., and Rosalina to the Mario family. Chris Pratt, Anya Taylor-Joy, Charlie Day, Jack Black, Keegan-Michael Key, and Kevin Michael Richardson reprise their roles from the first film, with Benny Safdie and Brie Larson joining the cast.

Considerations

The original film's $1.36 billion worldwide gross represents an exceptionally high bar. Sequels to blockbusters often underperform relative to their predecessors, though strong brand recognition and the expanded cast may support comparable performance. The Galaxy film's April 2026 release date positions it outside typical summer blockbuster season, which could impact box office trajectory.
